In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 35,918 gross tons, Viking XPRS is the 15,769th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 6.0 times the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 1,234 ferrys held here, it ranks 27th by tonnage — larger than 97% of that group. Their median tonnage is 3,908 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 25,454 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is Japan (241 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, with 34 hulls on record.
Estonia is the country of registry for 81 vessels in this directory, of which Viking XPRS is the 6th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (50 ships), and the median vessel measures 916 GT. Browse every ship flagged Estonia.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 6 ferrys flying the Estonia flag, of which none is larger than Viking XPRS.
Viking XPRS was built in 2007, making it 19 years old. It is one of 2,469 hulls in this registry delivered that year, a cohort whose median tonnage is 8,473 GT; within it this ship is the 522nd largest. Across the whole of the 2000s the registry holds 18,605 vessels, median 9,957 GT. The median build year across the entire registry is 1995.
The registry attributes 27 vessels to Aker Finnyards, with a median tonnage of 34,231 GT, delivered between 1998 and 2008. See the rest of that yard’s output.
At 329.0 m overall, Viking XPRS is 225.0 m longer than the 104.0 m median for ferrys on record, with a beam of 277.0 m and a draft of 655.0 m.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9375654 this registry holds 71 other vessels, whose median build year is 2008 and which range from 2005 to 2010. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series, consistent with its recorded build year of 2007.
Its IMO number, 9375654, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 3×6 + 7×5 + 5×4 + 6×3 + 5×2 = 164 — and the last digit of that total, 4, must equal the seventh digit, 4. It does, so this number is well formed.
